The platform’s automated audit system picked up the affected trades and halted all withdrawals. Following that, the Poloniex team effectively reversed every trade that had been executed as a result of the bug

Binance co-founder and CEO Changpeng Zhao explained in a tweet sent earlier today that one of the market data pushers experienced an issue, but the matching engine did not, so no funds or data were lost. He also said in a separate message that futures trading is continuing normally since it employs a separate matching engine.

While the crypto community is talking about “altcoin season,” one of the world’s oldest crypto exchanges is calling BS on everything that is not BTC.

Much to chew through. US perspective.

Anyone with low reading comprehension skills who makes erroneous attributions is safely worth putting on lifetime ignore as well.

"Alex Jones has capitulated. After 10 years of watching the #Bitcoin bubble inflate, at $10,000 per coin he thinks now's the time to urge his listeners to buy. This is how manias end. Greed overwhelms reason as people once too sensible to buy join the party just as it's ending."

'The White House is considering ways to incentivize U.S. households to invest in the stock market. Under the proposal, a portion of income would become tax-free for investment purposes.'

FC Barcelona Dives Into Crypto, Partnering With Chiliz to Create Token

It is not my favorite sport, but this is fine, more noise, more people for cryptography and, by default, Bitcoin.

According to an arrest warrant filed earlier this month, Harmon allegedly laundered over 354,468 Bitcoins (BTC) (worth $311 million at the time of the transactions), allowing the users of a privacy tool named Helix, and a darknet search engine named Grams, to make transactions on AlphaBay, a known dark market that was shut down in 2017.

I think some of the luxury cars do not depreciate that much and even (I have heard) you can make an insta-winning deal buying second hand (almost new) from places like Dubai, etc.

Anyway, I would not consider buying a $200.000+ car unless my net worth would be a solid over 10-100+ times that amount. And even then... I probably would have much better things to do with my "surplus" money. I will never buy a boat/yatch ever either... I wouldn't like one even if "free"... Maybe I would buy a good Jet Ski though, but that's very cheap in comparison... and way more fun.

When I think about it, the main thing I want money for (beyond basic expenses, of course) is RE. There's no limit on how much "luxury" I would allow myself to "spend" on that if the money were not a restriction.

Anyway, first priority would be to be set for life on basic expenses and sleep well at night. Then we can start talking about luxury spending/purchases/investments.

yup we shouldnae carrion

This is dystopian future he's depicting. once again is not cybersecurity what they fear, but the lack of control.
Not because it's right, but because they can.

Seen it. Boy, is it bad.

For some reason he glued Jesus into a remake of Les Valseuses.

There's the odd moment but it doesn't half jerk to sudden halts and disappear off down dead ends. He's better left a perfectly formed memory.

BTC started rising during the market sell off triggered by coronavirus. That was just the short-term catalyst, the underlying driver is the bitcoin halving event in May. Previous halving events have seen some of the larger participants hold off on releasing BTC into the market in anticipation of a rise into the event. We believe this same dynamic is currently in play.

I guess having a bull run depends on that person who says it. For me, it might be starting but basically in my own perception the bull run will start when I see it more than 13-15k$ WHY? I just started in late 2017 in crypto so basically, I started in the industry where the market is about to boom. I hope that you get my point on that. Basically, every day would be a good day to buy crypto whether btc or any other coins but it is on how you position yourself and as I said, perfect timing is needed.

I know guys that the price action is good, and everybody likes green dildo's (#nohomo), but Jay "do nothing" Powell is testifying at the House , and he's saying a lot of intresting things.

"Powell's remarks had nothing new and toed the party line," said Jon Hill, U.S. rates strategist at BMO Capital Markets. "Rates are in accommodative territory. They're on hold for the foreseeable future."

The Dow currently trades at 29,280, an all-time high, while BTC/USD is at $9,870 after hitting five-month highs of $10,150 over the weekend.

“Why can’t he prove it? From what I’ve read is that some mysterious bonded courier would deliver the keys (which honestly is a scene right out of Back to the Future.)  If he is, he should be able to prove it. This is like the modern day search for Anastasia.”
